[QUOTE="Calman, post: 476673, member: 3341"] I'm not going to say it wouldn't be profitable,after a number of years BUT hold on to your wallet. To build a processing plant would be very expensive. Then you have a mater of time until you establish a name an an ongoing buisness. Then you would have to have several employes to keep the buisness going which would envolve,wages,insurance, and some type of retirement for your employes.And last but not least you would have Federal regs,state regs,and county Regs. I have a friend who processes deer.hog, and beef for people around the area.His setup would withstand a federal inspection. But he's not under fed insp because he don't sell meat. He only sells his labor doing the processing.He bought a meat market's equipment that was going out of buisness,and built a new building for the processing. Took him 2 years to show a profit.He makes more money at this than his regular job. Cal [/QUOTE]
